“…The exact incidence of pelvic tuberculosis is not known due to under-reporting of asymptomatic cases, vague symptomatology and lack of reliable diagnostics [3]. Pelvic tuberculosis currently accounts for 6% -10% and is mainly of interest in the fallopian tubes, cervical and endometrial regions [4]. Ovarian involvement is less frequent and its clinical, radiological and biological presentation often leads to suspicion of an ovarian tumour.…”

Tuberculosis is a global public health problem with 10 million people developing an active form each year. The exact incidence of the pelvic form of tuberculosis is not known due to under-reporting of asymptomatic cases, vague symptomatology and lack of reliable diagnosis. We report a case of ovarian tuberculosis mimicking cancer and peritoneal carcinosis. The case involved a 15-year-old girl, hospitalized for severe pelvic pain and secondary amenorrhea. The examination showed an altered general state, a fever, a sensitive distended abdomen. The biology showed an elevation of Ca125 to 357 IU/ml. The CT scan showed a latero-uterine mass taking contrast in a heterogeneous way with an irregular and nodular thickening of the peritoneum making evoke a peritoneal carcinosis. Exploratory laparotomy found a bilateral ovarian mass with ileo-ileal, ileo-parietal and ileo-ovarian adhesions. Biopsy of the mass and the peritoneum showed a caseo-follicular gigantocellular epitheloid granulomatosis.
